Re: From 10 Frame Deeps to 8 Frame Medium

Yes, it's very ok and practical. if you want to convert the deep comb you have now down to mediums, do this:
Set the fence on your table saw to 6 1/4". When cutting, place the top bar against the fence and run the frames through the saw so that it trims the extra 2 7/8" off of the bottom edge of the comb. Don't go too fast, just run the comb slowly through the saw. You now have a medium frame with drawn comb. I don't put bottom bars on trimmed frames; the bees do not attach the bottom edge of the comb to the top bar below it anyway. This is what I'd do if I were converting deeps to mediums.
